Haha. I still like mine. Debating whether to sell it or the race neon. Both are fun in their own way. My 3 year old tells me to keep the race car. Practical me says to keep the hopped up DD for fun and as a backup (the race car can't serve as DD).

Quote: Chris,

Thanks - the shop is great. I've been working with Adam on the sales side. Did some maintenance work and put a front sway bar in. The fun stuff is in the works:
  • MAP Ef2.5
  • Ported/ coated intake and exhaust manifolds
  • Fuel system upgrade
  • Tune
  • Also having the SST build up with Kozmic, but Adam is setting it up for the shop to pull the transmission and send the basket.
Once all the parts are in, I'll drop the car and you all can have your way with it. I'm looking forward to the new ride!

Congratulations on building a great shop - highly recommended!
Glad to hear it sir Thank you very much for your business.

I spoke with David on the phone - very competent, and Adam spoke with Eric. From what I've read, seen, and heard, I should be very happy with the work.

For my goals, the MPv1 was recommended. A neat solution, and a lot less than I thought it would be to rebuild - hence doing it now vs. later. Thanks for coming up with a great solution at a reasonable price!

Fast forward to end of 2016. Lots of issues, but the car is "done." Now to get it out to some events to try it out. Thanks to Kozmic Motorsports for their monumental effort and also to Ron at RS Motors for initial efforts to start sorting it:

Power (454whp... in an MR on 93)
- 2.2L stroked, built bottom end
- GTX3576R turbo + supporting fuel
- GSC S2 cams and supporting cam parts
- MAP Rev 3 ceramic coated intake
- MAP ported and ceramic coated exhaust manifold
- Cobb quad tip exhaust
- Kozmic surge tank set up (for track use)
- Synapse BOV
- 3.5" MAF

Handling
- Ohlins R&T with custom spring rates (bonus: ~28lbs weight reduction)
- Hotchkis hollow sways with supporting hardware (bonus: ~7lbs weight reduction)
- Perrins PSRS
- Alignment

Transmission health
- Kozmic Magic Pack v1
- Dodson heated sump
- Mishimoto X-line radiator (extra capacity to cool the sump and engine)

Weight reduction
- Lightweight battery and mounting kit (~17lbs)
- Kozmic atmospheric breather and front bumper support bracket (~4lbs)

To install
- Girodisc and new pads (have, bonus - ~20lbs unsprung, rotational mass weight reduction)
- New wheels (18x9.5 +22 - need to find and order with bonus 10-12lbs weight reduction target)

Car is a blast to drive now. Pulls harder and earlier than when I bought it. Handles so much better. Great car!

Kozmic also cleaned up my engine bay a bit and did some powder coating to everything matched up. Very professional job with quality parts. Highly recommended.
